Finding Joy in the Creative Process with Photographer Lynn Savarese

Lynn Savarese, a Harvard-trained lawyer, discovered her love of photography when she took a beginner's photography class at Manhattan’s 92nd Street Y. Soon after, she volunteered to photograph taxidermied birds at the American Natural History Museum, bringing her own materials and artistic viewpoint to the project. Lynn’s astonishing presentation of the birds led to her first solo exhibition, launching her photography career. Points covered in this episode:  Learning to use all the features of your camera to utilize its full potential, even if your camera is an iPhone.  The importance of experimenting, playing, and finding joy in the process of photography, rather than focusing solely on the end result.  How Lynn has used her photography to raise awareness of issues important to her, such as promote legal protections for survivors of human trafficking.  The transformative power of photography and its ability to capture and honor the lives of others.  Her current focus on nature photography that captures water and trees in a painterly, abstract style.  Her use of different photographic materials and presentation techniques to enhance the artistic quality of her work. NOTE: This episode discusses specific photographs, which can be seen on the YouTube episode and on our website.
